COUNCIL ACTION: Approve Deny Table Continue No Action Form Updated 04/19/2024 4E ORDINANCE NO. 5539 AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of Bremerton, Washington, amending BMC Chapter 10.42 entitled “Automated Traffic Safety Cameras.” WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend Chapter 10.42 of the Bremerton Municipal Code in order to update the code to align with the most recent updates to the Revised Code of Washington; NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON, WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 10.42.010 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled "AUTOMATED TRAFFIC SAFETY CAMERAS AUTHORIZED" is hereby amended to read as follows: The use of automated traffic safety cameras to detect violations of WAC 308-330-408 and 308-330-423, which the City has adopted by reference as sections of the Model Traffic Ordinance, is authorized at intersections where two (2) arterial roadways intersect and in school speed zones, subject to the restrictions and allowances specified in State law (RCW 46.63.170 RCW 46.63.210 through RCW 46.63.250). SECTION 2. Section 10.42.030 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled " TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS DETECTED THROUGH THE USE OF AN AUTOMATED TRAFFIC SAFETY CAMERA" is hereby amended to read as follows: (a) A notice of infraction based on evidence detected through the use of an automated traffic safety camera shall be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle within fourteen (14) days of the violation, or to the renter of a vehicle within fourteen (14) da ys of establishing the renter's name and address under subsection (c)(1) of this section. The police officer or other authorized representative of the City issuing the notice of infraction shall include with it a certificate or facsimile thereof, based upon inspection of photographs, microphotographs, or electronic images produced by an automated traffic safety camera, stating the facts supporting the notice of infraction. This certificate or facsimile is prima facie evidence of the facts contained in it and is admissible in a proceeding charging a violation of WAC 308-330-408 or 308-330- 423.The photographs, microphotographs, or electronic images evidencing the violation must be available for inspection and admission into evidence in a proceeding to adjudicate the liability for the infraction. (b) A person receiving such a notice of infraction may respond to the notice by mail. The registered owner of a vehicle is responsible for such an infraction unless the registered owner overcomes the presumption in subsection (e) of this section, or, in the case of a rental car business, satisfies the conditions under subsection (c) of this section. If appropriate under the circumstances, a renter identified under subsection (c)(1) of this section is responsible for such an infraction. (c) If the registered owner of the vehicle is a rental car business, the peace officer shall, before such a notice of infraction is issued, provide a written notice to the rental car business that a notice of infraction may be issued to the rental car business if the rental car business does not, within thirty (30) days of receiving the written notice, provide to the peace officer by return mail: (1) A statement under oath stating the name and known mailing address of the individual driving or renting the vehicle when the infraction occurred; or (2) A statement under oath that the business is unable to determine who was driving or renting the vehicle at the time the infraction occurred because the vehicle was stolen at the time of the infraction. A statement provided under this subsection must be accompanied by a copy of a filed police report regarding the vehicle theft; or (3) In lieu of identifying the vehicle operator, the rental car business may pay the applicable penalty. Timely mailing of this statement to the peace officer relieves a rental car business of any liability under this chapter for the notice of infraction. (d) For the purposes of this chapter, "automated traffic safety camera" means a device that uses a vehicle sensor installed to work in conjunction with an intersection traffic control system, or a speed measuring device, and a camera synchronized to automatically record one (1) or more sequenced photographs, microphotographs, or electronic images of the rear of a motor vehicle at the time the vehicle fails to stop when facing a steady red traffic control signal or an activated railroad grade crossing control signal, or exceeds a speed limit in a school speed zone as detected by a speed measuring device. (e) In a traffic infraction case involving an infraction detected through the use of an automated traffic safety camera, proof that the particular vehicle described in the notice of traffic infraction was in violation of WAC 308-330-408 or 308-330-423, together with proof that the person named in the notice of traffic infraction was at the time of the violation the registered owner of the vehicle, constitutes in evidence a prima facie presumption that the registered owner of the vehicle was the person in control of the vehicle at the point where, and for the time during which, the violation occurred. This presumption may be overcome only if the registered owner states, under oath, in a written statement to the court or in testimony before the court that the vehicle involved was, at the time, stolen or in the care, custody, or control of some person other than the registered owner (RCW 46.63.075 and 46.63.170 46.63.220). SECTION 3. Section 10.42.040 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled “MONETARY PENALITIES" is hereby amended to read as follows: (a) A traffic infraction for violations of WAC 308-330-408 or 308-330-423 detected through the use of an automated traffic safety camera shall be processed in the same manner as a parking infraction. The base monetary penalty for a violation of either WAC 308- 330-408 or 308-330-423 shall be the same as the fine established for each pursuant to State or local law, including statutory assessments. (b) The penalty for a violation detected through the use of an automated traffic safety camera shall be equal to the monetary penalty for a violation of an infraction as set forth in RCW 46.63.220 (16), as adjusted for inflation by the Office of Financial Management every five years. (c) The penalties for a school speed zone violation detected through the use of an automated traffic safety camera shall be as follows: i. Speeds six to ten miles per hour over the posted twenty miles per hour zone shall be a base monetary penalty of one hundred fifty dollars; ii. Speeds eleven to fifteen miles per hour over the posted twenty miles per hour shall be a base monetary penalty of two hundred dollars; iii. Speeds sixteen miles and above per hour over the posted twenty miles per hour zone shall be a base penalty of two hundred ninety dollars. However, the amount of the fine issued for an infraction generated through the use of an automated traffic safety camera shall not exceed the amount of a fine issued for parking infractions within the City, including disabled parking infractions. SECTION 4. Section 10.42.070 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled "FUNDS ALLOCATED" is hereby amended to read as follows: All fees collected in excess of all costs incurred by the City for operation of the automated traffic safety cameras pursuant to this chapter shall be pursuant to and in accordance with RCW 46.63.220 (13); further the City Council dedicates that revenue in excess of direct costs associated with processing, operations and maintenance will be dedicated to the Transportation Capital Projects Fund, unless otherwise allocated by the City Council. Corrections. The City Clerk and codifiers of this ordinance are authorized to make necessary corrections to this ordinance including, but not limited to, the correction of scrivener, clerical, typographical, and spelling errors, references, ordinance numbering, section/subsection numbers and any references thereto.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear City Council, Mayor, Planning Commission, and City Clerk, Please add this letter to the public record and agenda packet, as it reflects our community's commitment to supporting those in need. I am writing to you today not just as a concerned citizen, but as a member of a community that is eager to support the construction of pallet shelters on the land purchased by the Bremerton Housing Authority. Our community understands the challenges faced by those experiencing homelessness, and we believe that pallet shelters could serve as a critical part of the solution. It has come to my attention that the city’s views on pallet shelters as temporary structures may be hindering progress. However, with the recent enactment of HB2266, the state encourages cities to adopt a more flexible approach. The Department of Commerce has expressed support for these initiatives, and it is essential that Bremerton aligns itself with these progressive changes. I encourage you to engage with community members and consider the real impact of allowing pallet shelters. Together, we can foster a more compassionate and proactive approach to homelessness in our city. Thank you for your time, and I hope to see our community take meaningful steps toward providing shelter for those in need. Please approve the request of the Bremerton Housing Authority to allow the pallet shelter on the land they purchased. This action is crucial for helping our most marginalized and vulnerable community members find safe and dignified housing. They are our neighbors, and we support them in their right to have access to dignified housing.

BUT: #1 This plan or rather lack of planning is pure INSANITY !!! #2 Many Young children live on cherry Avenue north of Sheridan and other surrounding areas !!! #3 Across the street from school property and athletic fields. #4 less than 1400 feet from an elementary school !! #5 Located right smack within an established residential neighborhood !!. #6 Located within 1500 feet of three senior care facilities !! #6 Located within 400 feet of SAAR's grocery store and other business groups on the corner of Sheridan and Wheaton way !! #7 This will be a MASSIVE problem for law enforcement and will create a large concentrated area for drug abuse and crime. This all Close to neighborhood and school children !! #8. Locating this group on the corner of a very busy intersection will cause alot of injuries and possibly worse. Having individuals on drugs and worse issues should not be anywhere near a large traffic intersection !! #9 People that live around this so called camp will assuredly be exposed to high amounts of theft and breakins and worse crimes!! # 10 There are many many places that would be more well suited for this camp and there is no way it should be on the corner of sheridan and wheaton way !! #11 I will be shocked if our mayor and city council will even consider this INSANE plan !!!!! #12 Again the homeless need a good place to be located but this area would be dangerous not only to the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses but also the homeless themselves. #13 It is even more troubling that these people WILL NOT BE VETTED !! I wonder why ?! We need a plan to help and heal the homeless but this current plan is not it !!! th I won't be able to attend the city council meeting on July 20 so I kindly request this e-mail be read by the city council members to the meeting attendees.

Dear City Council, Mayor, Planning Commission, and City Clerk, Please add this letter to the public record and agenda packet, as it reflects our community's commitment to supporting those in need. I am writing to express my strong support for the construction of pallet shelters on the land acquired by the Bremerton Housing Authority. As a concerned member of our community, I believe that these shelters represent a viable solution to our ongoing housing crisis. While I understand the city’s current stance on pallet shelters being classified as temporary, I am aware of the new state law, HB2266, which aims to facilitate shelter construction and reduce barriers for cities like ours. This law encourages local governments to explore innovative housing solutions, including pallet shelters, which are essential for providing immediate relief for our homeless population. I urge the city council to reconsider its position and embrace this opportunity to enhance our community’s response to homelessness. By allowing the construction of pallet shelters, we can provide safe, dignified living spaces for those in need, aligning with the Department of Commerce’s encouragement for such initiatives. Thank you for considering my request. I hope the council will take the necessary steps to support this important project. Please approve the request of the Bremerton Housing Authority to allow the pallet shelter on the land they purchased. This action is crucial for helping our most marginalized and vulnerable community members find safe and dignified housing. They are our neighbors, and we support them in their right to have access to dignified housing. Sincerely, Charles M. Fairchild Jr.
